Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Laem Sing could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Laem Sing, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
